Description

Plaintiff, Rickey Clark, sustained multiple permanent physical injuries when a demolition crane's boom slipped from its base and fell on him. He brought this action against the City of Chicago (the City), which had contracted for the demolition, and FMC Corporation (FMC), the crane's manufacturer. The City filed a cross-complaint against FMC for indemnification. 1 The trial court directed a verdict for Clark and against the City on the issue of liability for injury arising out of the City's authorization of an ultrahazardous activity. The court also directed a verdict for FMC against Clark. A jury then considered the issues of damages and indemnification. It assessed damages at $1,102,000. It also found the City was not entitled to reimbursement from FMC. On appeal the City seeks review of the following issues: (1) whether the trial court erred when it held the City liable to Clark as a matter of law; (2) whether the Local Governmental and Governmental Employees Tort Immunity Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 85, pars. 1-101 through 10-101) bars Clark's claim against the City; (3) whether the damages award is excessive; and (4) whether the jury's verdict in favor of FMC and against the City is against the manifest weight of the evidence.
